fanboat
Propeller-driven marsh vessel
A fanboat is a flat-bottomed boat propelled by a large aircraft-style propeller mounted above the stern, powered by an automotive or aircraft engine.
The design allows navigation through shallow water, marshes, and swamps where conventional propellers would snag on vegetation.
Also called an airboat.
We took a fanboat tour through the Everglades.
